Fingerless Mitts

My Mom requested plain fingerless mitts for Christmas. I used this pattern with a few modifications.

(Those are my brother’s hands by the way. He was channeling his inner hand model in that second photo)

I used DPNs for the fingers and it was a giant clusterfuck. It didn’t help that I needed five but only had four. Magic loop is my preference but the circumference was too small and the stitches too spread out for it to work.

The ends were a pain to weave in but the finished mitts are awesome. I started a pair for myself with some left over felted tweed. I have a few more repeats to work before I get to the fingers but think it’ll be less fiddly this time.

I admire anyone who can knit, especially as good as that!! I’ve been crocheting for years and last year my mom got be a ton of knitting supplies…that I used only a couple of times. I always go back to crocheting simply because I think it’s faster and easier.
I’ve been making fingerless gloves for my loved ones as well but they are nothing like yours!! Great work!
